This thing is a piece of cake for Jiang Chen, who is proficient in carpentry skills.

"That should be fine."

"There must be something wrong with the internal components of your box, so it can't be locked now." Jiang Chen said lightly.

"Little brother! Do you really understand!?"

The rice shop owner was extremely shocked when he heard Jiang Chen's words!

This box was handed down from his ancestors and he has always treated it as a treasure!

Over the years, he has used it to store valuable items such as house deeds, land deeds and banknotes.

However, I accidentally broke it a few days ago, and no matter how many people I asked, they couldn't fix it.

The last time he saw Jiang Chen, he wanted to ask, but he was worried that Jiang Chen was a liar, so he didn't ask.

Seeing Jiang Chen again today, he asked with a try-it attitude, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to really understand!

"Haha, of course I understand. I can fix it for you right now, but..."

"Little brother! As long as you can fix it, you can set any price!"

When the rice shop owner heard Jiang Chen say "but", he thought Jiang Chen was worried about money, so he spoke quickly.

"No no no."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Your box is made of mahogany. Now I don't have mahogany, so I can only use other wood to repair it for you."

“It can be repaired, but it’s definitely not as durable as mahogany, and it doesn’t look as nice.”

"So... whether or not to repair it, you decide for yourself!"

The rice shop owner also hesitated when he heard Jiang Chen's words.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Jiang Chen: "Little brother, if we repair it now, can I ask you to help me repair it again if I find red wood in the future?"

"Don't worry, reward is not a problem!"

"No problem!" Jiang Chen agreed without hesitation.

It's just a small thing. He can fix it in a few moments.

……

"Good good!"

"Little brother, please fix it first. I...I will prepare the materials for you right away!"

"As a reward, how about 50 kilograms of millet?" the rice shop owner said excitedly.

"Millet..."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

"What? Little brother, you don't feel it's enough?" The rice shop owner saw Jiang Chen's expression and spoke hurriedly.

"No, no, no, the shopkeeper has misunderstood."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "The reward is enough, but I don't eat millet. Can I change it to refined rice, that is, rice?"

"no problem!"

The rice shop owner was also relieved when he heard Jiang Chen's words!

"Then 20 kilograms of rice, plus the ** you gave me before, okay?"

When Jiang Chen heard what the rice shop owner said, he agreed without hesitation.

Millet for white rice, three for one.

He made a profit by exchanging fifty kilograms of millet for twenty kilograms of rice.

What's more, you can exchange it for **.

Nowadays, there are no tools like electric saws and electric grinding wheels, but ** is still very important!

After the discussion, Jiang Chen immediately began to repair the wooden box.

Under the shocked gaze of the rice shop owner, Jiang Chen tore the box into pieces in a short while!

The rice shop owner felt so distressed when he saw this scene!

If Jiang Chen couldn't do it, he would want to kill Jiang Chen!

Fortunately, Jiang Chen quickly found the broken component and made an identical component using pine wood.

Then, under Jiang Chen's assembly, the wooden box quickly returned to its original state!

However, the surface of the wooden box was originally dark red, and there was a pattern on it.

But now, a piece of the pattern is missing and it has turned yellow.

This really looks a bit out of place.

No wonder Jiang Chen just asked him whether he wanted to practice it or not.

……

"Okay, fixed it."

"The shopkeeper has to take a look!"

Jiang Chen handed the wooden box to the rice shop owner.

After the rice shop owner looked at the wooden box, he praised Jiang Chen's craftsmanship: "Little brother! You are really a talent! You are really amazing!"

"I didn't expect you to be so capable at such a young age. In the future...if I find redwood, I'll have to trouble you again!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "No problem. After you find the red wood, you can send it to Zhoujia Village for me. Then I will carve the pattern for you. I guarantee it will be exactly the same as before!"

"real!?"

The rice shop owner was extremely excited!

He even gave Jiang Chen five more kilograms of rice!

After all, I will have to ask Jiang Chen for help in the future!

After Jiang Chen got the rice, he did not stay long and returned to the village.

However, not long after Jiang Chen left, a middle-aged man in fancy clothes walked into the rice shop.

"Manager Xu, are the 200 kilograms of refined flour I ordered ready?"

"My second uncle's birthday is next month, and I'm in a hurry to use it!"

After the middle-aged man entered the room, he shouted loudly.

"Hey! Third Master! You're here!"

"The flour is ready. I'll have someone bring it to you right away. Please wait a moment!"

The rice shop owner saw the visitor and spoke in a flattering manner.

But just when the rice shop owner was about to leave, the third master saw the wooden box in the owner's hand!

"and many more!"

"Hmm? Third Master, do you have any other instructions?" Shopkeeper Xu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Shopkeeper Xu, this box in your hand is quite nice!"

"Where did it come from?" The Third Master stared at the box in Manager Xu's hand and asked with a smile on his face.

……

"this……!?"

When Shopkeeper Xu heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat!

Could it be that this Third Master has taken a fancy to his ancestral box? ?

What would happen if this Third Master took a fancy to me?!

You know, Mr. Xue San, relying on his second uncle being the county magistrate, is running rampant in the village, doing all kinds of evil!

"Third Master, this... this is a box passed down from my ancestors. It's not valuable. It's just used to store things. I..."

"Bring it to you!"

Without waiting for Shopkeeper Xu to finish speaking, Mr. Xue snatched the wooden box from Shopkeeper Xu's hands!

"Third Master..."

Shopkeeper Xu was terrified and wanted to reach out and take it back.

But when he saw the cold look in Mr. Xue San's eyes, he was so scared that he dared not speak again.

"Wow! This box is made of mahogany!"

"And there is no keyhole..."

"This...what is this called..."

Mr. Xue San was fiddling with the box.

Shopkeeper Xu felt distressed and said helplessly, "This... this is a Qiqiao box..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Kit Kat box!"

Mr. Xue San was surprised when he heard this.

"This is good stuff!"

"But, your box... seems to be broken! I can't open it!"

"And why is there a piece of pine wood here? It looks weird..."

Mr. Xue San said this with a look of regret on his face.

If it was a complete KitKat box, he could give it to his second uncle as a birthday gift!

This clever box is rare, his second uncle will definitely like it!

But when Shopkeeper Xu saw this, he suddenly thought: "Yes, yes, this box is broken, I just asked someone to fix it!"

"That little carpenter has great skills!"

"Third Master, if you like the Qiqiao box, you can prepare the materials yourself and ask him to make it for you!"

"If you make a clever box and carve a pattern on it that the county magistrate likes, he will definitely like it!"

When Mr. Xue San heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"That makes sense. Where is the carpenter? Find him for me, Third Master!"
